Lark Opera presents two performances of Humperdinck's beloved opera Hansel & Gretel as part of the Old Moody Stages festival in at Zidell Yards on the South Waterfront of Portland Oregon.
About the opera
This opera is a favorite of young and old alike. The characters are relatable and engaging. The complex, Wagner-inspired music carries listeners through diverse moods and atmospheres: from jovial to dreamy, from innocent to suspenseful. Interestingly, this opera began its life as a children’s puppet play, which Librettist Adelheid Wette originally wrote for her family. Her brother wrote a few songs for it. Eventually, they collaborated to transform it into a full opera. It premiered in 1893 under the baton of Richard Strauss.
About the Venue
This unique summer stage has been constructed inside the Barge building — a massive warehouse space which is open on both ends so fresh air can blow through it. Audience seats are on risers, with an option for socially distanced pods if desired. Masks are required inside the Barge building.
